Reviews for Z Asian - Vietnamese Kitchen in Orlando, FL

I just don't get it. Michelin recommends it. Vegans recommend it. Non vegans recommend it. We have now tried it three times and... all three just were not good. Food: it's wonderful to have a separate and extensive vegan menu and that is really appreciated.However, options do not equal good food. Our spring rolls were burnt, dry, and bland. The summer rolls had no real crunch andthe fried tofu tasted smokey in a bad way. The peanut sauce was runny and had limited flavor. For mains, the noodle stir fry hadmore oil than a mob boss' hair. The noodles had some good flavor but all the veggies and tofu were seasonless shimmering innasty oil. The lemongrass soup had an okay spice, but again was lacking flavor outside the chili oil. The housemade noodles weregood, but VERY over cooked where they just disintegrated in your mouth. The red curry at least tasted fresh, but it was HEAVY onthe coconut, so if you love basic-white-people curries that are more milky than peppery, you'll love this place. I on the otherhand love the rich flavors of traditional Thailand and would not recommend the dish. Our whole party generally was not impressedand "greasy" was used by every party member after dinner. Service: kind and attentive. No real complaints here. Atmosphere:nice and generally clean, but the bathrooms definitely were not redone in comparison. Overall, we've tried Z Asian three timesin the past two years and I just can't bring myself to try again. Everything seemed watered down or a distant flavor of what isexpected. Maybe all the basic instagrammer people who are afraid of seasoning on their white bread mayo sandwiches are allrating this place 5 star. Just not for us. Read more

The food itself wasn’t bad, the soup tasted nice and the noodles were really nice. But the spring rolls were a bit... disappointing as the filling felt like it was just frozen and fried. And many items on the menu were not available which pushedus to order things that we didn’t necessarily wanted to eat in the first place Read more

Z Asian was very interesting; I've never really gone out for pho in Orlando, although there are several places that make it. The... broths of the soups were really nice, and I enjoyed that they give you a plate of veggies that you can eat alongside your mealor put into the soup. In addition to the phos, we also had the grilled squid (spicy but very much worth it!), the quails (reallydelicious, the flavor was amazing), and the mango salad (big hit at the table). They have a sugar cane juice that tastes verygood too- freshly pressed from actual cane, I think they might add a bit or orange to it because it had a lovely citrus taste.This restaurant is well worth making a booking for, since they don't always have lots of spaces for walk ins, although you cancall ahead to ask if they have walk in space available. .

Extremely fresh food, had the summer roll with chicken pho and iced Vietnamese coffee. Noodles were thick and made fresh in... house and really made the pho dish which had a good amount of chicken in it too. Staff were very attentive to the customers andplace had a cool vibe. I went for lunch and I’d certainly go back for dinner to checkout their impressive cocktail list andentree dishes, the duck has my name on it for sure. Read more

From out of town and this restaurant has amazing food! Very flavorful and can’t wait to come back to eat again with friends... and family! Every dish I had was my favorite. The squid stood out the most! Read more

Absolutely delicious. I feel like I’m getting a home cooked meal. Ingredients are so fresh. I cannot wait to come back and try... more. They also have a full bar and boba tea. The restaurant is also decorated beautifully and spacious. Read more

I had the the Summer Rolls, "B1 Special Bowl," and Artichoke Tea. Everything was delicious! The artichoke tea was something... I've never tried but came recommended... and rightfully so! Everything is made in-house and it shows in the flavor andfreshness. Def recommend checking it out. I'm coming back to try the Pho soon! The owners are super nice, too. ???? Read more

AUTHENTIC VIETNAMESE FOOD. I ordered the B1- grilled pork, grilled shrimp, and spring roll. The pork was so tender and had a... crisp bite- how do you even do that?? The viet iced coffee was also FIRE. The owner came out and chatted with us and was so niceand personable. Henry was our server and was attentive and funny. This was one of our first times eating out in a restaurantsince the pandemic, and I’m so glad it was at this place. The whole experience was a lovely way to step back into the newnormal. 10/10 RECOMMEND!! Read more
